Datetime Package v 2.0 (23 Oct 2002)
by N.L.C. Talbot

The package datetime.sty provides various different formats for
the command \today, and also provides a command that will format a
given date in the same way as \today (for example, if \today
formats the current date as 20th April, 2002, then
\formatdate{1}{5}{2002} would produce the output 1st May 2002.)
The package also provides commands for displaying the current
time, either in 12hr, 24hr or text format. In addition, there are
macros for displaying the value of LaTeX counter as an ordinal
(e.g. \ordinal{page} would print 3rd if the current value of page
is 3, and \ordinalstring{page} would print third) as well as
macros for displaying the value of LaTeX counter as a string (e.g.
\numberstring{page} would print three).

To install:

latex datetime.ins

to obtain documentation:

latex datetime.dtx

*Note*  Major changes since version 1.1:

1) The command \thedate has been changed to \formatdate as it
conflicts with some class files (such as seminar.cls).

2) The commands \ordinal, \ordinalstring, \Ordinalstring,
\numberstring and \Numberstring all now take a LaTeX counter
as the argument, *not* a TeX count register as in version 1.1.
This is to make it more consistent with \arabic, \Roman etc,
and to enable them to be used with counters that are cross-referenced
with \ref and \label.

Minor changes:

1) Extra date format in the style: Twenty-Third October, Two Thousand and Two

2) Extra time format command in the style: Twenty to Four in the afternoon
